Tolles Career & Technical Center offers tuition-free career & technical programming to London students who are interested in pursuing their education at a two- or four-year university, students interested in pursuing a career immediately after high school, or a combination of both.

In addition to receiving their high school diploma, students who successfully complete a Tolles program will receive a Certificate of Completion and Career Passport from the Center.

Tolles offers a full range of college preparatory academics and Spanish. Tolles provides London students with several opportunities to receive college credit through the PSEO (for qualifying students) and articulation agreements. Our articulation agreements with several central Ohio two- and four-year colleges provide students with the opportunity to receive college credit for successful completion of certain programs. Many Tolles students continue their education at the post-secondary level, receiving close to $400,000 in college scholarships.

Full-day and half-day options are available to London students. Students may choose to take their academics at London High School or at Tolles. Transportation is provided to and from the Center.
